Advancing the Movement Communities Uniting for a Healthy and Prosperous 3rd American Century

Helping improve the health and quality of life of communities across the country

Advancing the Movement (ATM) is a distributed network of leaders from communities, philanthropy, government agencies, and the private, academic, voluntary and civic sectors - serving across fields, political perspectives and focus areas - collaborating on policy, systems and environmental changes for a healthier, more equitable and prosperous United States of America.

From inspiring the creation of cutting-edge data, learning and performance platforms, to cultivating balanced dialogue for collective impact, ATM is transforming the way resources and best practices are shared and leveraged among communities across the country. By promoting peer learning and innovation, ATM:

  • Enhances the reach and impact of currently funded place-based investments;
  • Applies an asset-based approach to help grow and sustain impact once the funding is over; and
  • Supports communities of highest burden that may not have adequate financing.
